"Schone Ahnung ist erglommen" is a vocal piece composed by Carl Maria von Weber. It was composed in 1818 and premiered in the same year. The piece is part of the Opus 53b/2 or Opus 57/2. The piece is a part of Weber's collection of songs titled "Sechs Lieder von verschiedenen Dichtern" (Six Songs by Various Poets). The text of the song is written by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, one of the most prominent German poets of the Romantic era. The piece is composed in the key of E-flat major and has a moderate tempo. It consists of three distinct sections, each with its own character and mood. The first section is slow and contemplative, with a gentle melody that sets the tone for the rest of the piece. The second section is more lively and energetic, with a faster tempo and a more complex melody. The third section returns to the slower tempo of the first section, but with a more dramatic and intense melody. The piece is characterized by its use of chromaticism and modulation, which create a sense of tension and release throughout the piece. The vocal line is also highly expressive, with a wide range of dynamics and emotions. The piano accompaniment is equally expressive, with a variety of textures and harmonies that support and enhance the vocal line. Overall, "Schone Ahnung ist erglommen" is a beautiful and expressive vocal piece that showcases Weber's skill as a composer and his ability to capture the mood and emotion of the text.
